      A lot of those questions are valid, however one thing i have learned in life is that the amount of freedom we have in our lives, affects a lot of things we do both positive and negative, unfortunately many of us have limited freedom as we are tied to, resposibiites, traditions and families, so we basically have no way to explore many of those questions asked. If I was a free person, I would defiantly think about those questions and act on them if possible
